== Roar in the Anime ==

Wasn't ''Roar'' used by Suicune against Eusine in [[EP227]], to flee from his Pokémon?

== Mean Look/Shadow Tag ==

If a wild Pokémon uses Roar when the opponent used Mean Look/Spider Web/Block or has Shadow Tag/Arena Trap, will the battle end? <span style="border: 1px solid">[[User:PH1RESTRIKE|<span style="background-color:Blue; color:#78C850"> 1337Fire </span>]][[User talk:PH1RESTRIKE|<span style="background-color:#FFFFFF; color:Green"> ►strike! </span>]]</span> 18:24, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
:Well, I found it works with Shadow Tag, but with Mean Look/Block/Spider Web? <span style="border: 1px solid">[[User:PH1RESTRIKE|<span style="background-color:Blue; color:#78C850"> 1337Fire </span>]][[User talk:PH1RESTRIKE|<span style="background-color:#FFFFFF; color:Green"> ►strike! </span>]]</span> 00:51, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
::Probably, and with Arena Trap too. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 01:01, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

== Generation I priority? ==

I'm pretty sure that Roar and Whirlwind have normal priority in Generation I. Can someone confirm this? [[User:Blaziken257|Blaziken257]] 01:58, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

== Generation V effect? ==

I was training my {{p|Deino}} around [[Unova Route 10]] and a wild {{p|Herdier}} failed to Roar my Pokémon out of battle several times in a row.  (For the record, they were both Lv.39)  So ... is there possibly more to Roar's success rate in wild Pokémon battles than is currently stated?  --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 07:10, 27 April 2011 (UTC)''

I attempted to use Roar on a same level Basculin with my Steelix along [[Unova Route 1]] and encountered the same problem, it failed multiple times before i fled. [[User:theseriddlesthree|theseriddlesthree]] 10:06, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

== Origin ==

Could it be that Roar is inspired by the ''shisa'' of Japanese mythology, which dispels evil spirits with its roar? It seems legitimate since only Growlithe (based on the ''shisa'') and Vulpix could learn it naturally in Gen I. Should this be added? --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] ([[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|talk]]) 11:27, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

== Formula for roar ==

There was a formula given by a Chinese wiki, it says that there was a chance of failing for using it. (If attacker's level is lower than opposite's, calculate: (attacker's level + defencer's level) * random number[0-256] < defencer's level / 4. If this happens, then it will makes move failed from using it.

:I've seen this happen before, many times. The formula seems pretty weird,though, since all it can result in is random(256). Where'd you find it? [[User:Dimenticare|Dimenticare]] ([[User talk:Dimenticare|talk]]) 00:36, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
